New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos GameThread - NFL Divisional Playoff

PrintLast weekend, the only advancing team that needed to win in dramatic fashion was - of course - the Tim Tebow-led Denver Broncos. Their 29-23 overtime triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers served as the only entertaining game of wild card weekend - unless, of course, you're a fan of the Texans, Saints or Giants.
It's likely that Tebow and the Broncos will need more theatrics to win a second consecutive playoff game, considering they're taking on the AFC's top-seeded New England Patriots this evening. It's not that the Patriots are indomitable - they've lost their last three post-season games, including two at home - it's that Tom Brady and New England's passing attack is so prolific that Denver may struggle to keep up, despite how Tebow shredded the Steelers last week.
Either way, this is a Bills blog, so it's hard to root against a team playing the Patriots. Go Broncos, right? Yep. Go Broncos.

hopefully Denver figures out how to score, also
and do so by possessing the ball as much as possible. it is a game of keep away with brady, as he has clearly demonstrated. RUN, RUN, RUN…. hope to keep running against the Pats’ weak d.

Question of the First Half
Which Brady Pats team do you hate more?
Pats with Bruschi/Vrabel/Harrison
Pats with Welker/Woodhead/Wilfork
No saying equally
bruschi causes all scales to slide his way. for me.

So, RealTruth....
I really thought we might get lucky on our Saints line, I thought San Fran would send it to OT, then maybe the Saints would do a TD walkoff in OT for the cover, but alas, no go. Now, you look very smart betting with your head taking the Pats, instead of me betting with my heart/ the almighty Tebow and taking Denver.

such is life.
i hate them, i really do. but, they are home, they are 13-3, with a terrible defense, and unfortunately Brady and Belichik are just too good. I can admit it. I don’t admire their methods always, but they are good. They produce the most important stat: WINS.

i am willing to take that loss, because it was an incredible game.
And I am still pulling for you to have guessed right. I can’t fault you for wanting what I want. I just figure it was safer. Still early. And the BILLS beat Brady this year. Just once, and not at home, but they did it. It is still doable.

Saints had the greatest air show in the playoffs and they lost. It’s all about turnovers and how pressure is handled in the playoffs.

demaryius thomas
i think the only guys who would want him on our team more, would be Chan/Fitz/Steve/Nix- in that order.
ABAYARDE IS NOSTRADAMUS JUST WATCH WE WILL NOT YIEALD TO NOBODY YOUR SOUL WE WILL TAKE
Nix would have drafted him
if he was there in the second
"The Buffalo Bills have just exploded all over the Cincinnati Bangles"
-Steve Tasker-
Maybe, I remember in the Tebow draft documentary,
the Broncos really wanted Demaryius with their first pick and seemed determined to trade back into the first round (22-29 range, something the agent said “every team in that range had been contacted by Denver”) which lead to the 23rd pick being Tebow.

I remember thinking that it was an awful draft strategy, Josh McDaniels got one thing right while in Denver.

he wanted character guys
and new faces. I think most GMs/HCs want that. Since he was basically both, he wagered his opportunity on them, and if he had the chance to stay, he might would be reaping the benefits.

One thing though,
is that I feel that he would never have handled this Tebow offensive scheme as well as John Fox has, Fox has been incredible in that regard.

hard to say
that is his thing. he is the offensive archetype guy… we have no idea what the overall vision was. Fox has done well, but if you recall, Tebow was starting at the end of last year, and was having some success at certain things. They wasted half a season of game experience, and transitioning, and could have had an easier ride. BUT- they made it either way, so kudos.

maybe
but he was too talented to fall that far. He went at 22, right? He reminded me of Hakeem Nicks at the time, because I wasn’t that familiar. I have followed him since, thinking McDaniels was dumb to dismantle that team (cutler/marshall) but: I rather have Thomas than Marshall, and I have never been a Cutler fan anyway, so I am ok with the whole thing. Prob why he is getting the opportunities still. he will be a HC again in the not so distant future.

Yup, amazing the way "we" as fans cheer for former Bills,
I dislike Willis so much, but Marshawn I can still cheer for, same with Lee Evans, he was a class act as a Bill.
Like the earlier game, I still love Jabari Greer, but my dislike for Whitner is very profound.

because that is how i feel, completely. Can’t stand willis, ok w ML, Lee is probably a nobody now, but i liked him, and Jabari was our biggest mistake ever i think. didn’t play him enough when he was here, can’t blame him for leaving. Whitner sucks.

had to hear about quinn, and golden tate, and now malcolm floyd.. oh, last year, Rudolph (though him, i really liked). I am ok with floyd, as a 2nd maybe. or a 3rd. not going to happen, and I just don’t know that he is so much better than any other big body receiver that we shouldn’t grab a different need, at say LT/OLB/CB in the first. For all we know, a 3rd year guy in Easley, or even 2nd year Aiken, could be just as good, and just as far along, with less cost… though, i am all for a true #1. i can’t wait for the combine… since i have few other things to look forward to, especially if it is a Pats super bowl.

i like it
my buddy is a huge ND fan, and was all about it… I told him no way, wasn’t going to happen. Now, though, I would be more inclined, especially being as we are in desperate need of a #2 (if not a #s 1,2 and 3…) and with the signing of Lee, it seems a great time to let him teach up the new guys, with Fitz having established knowledge to help them translate and see, and then we might have some serviceable guys.
Thigpen had one mediocre year ever, and most of what i see, is TERRIBLE…
and we have one WR as a QB, who might be learning some wildcat from the master. SO…. now would be an awesome time for a good backup, and a young developmental QB.

that is stupid, to take that risk, in a blowout playoff win, before the AFC Championship game, when you already had the undefeated record in a previous season, and won super bowls…. etc. there aren’t many milestones left. why not let other guys play? risk of injury to someone else? Stay the course, with the best players, and they always stay on the same page? I guess it is 50/50…. and we will see the best approach: because if anyone is gonna know/make the right decision, it is Bellichik (whose name i never spell the same, cuz i dont know, and don’t care. i generally call him belicheat.)

exactly
while the option has certainly worked in the short term, the last three games of the season and then again this game has proved that it won’t work. He needs to play like a modern QB. If he can’t he won’t be anything more than an H-back like people projected him to be before the draft.
You are now Watching The Throne.
i agree with all of this
i don’t think he will ever be amazing, and i think he has to develop to be successful, but i see the same stupid decisions and throws, from our starter. unfortunately.

every QB makes mistakes
Tebow just flat out cannot throw the ball well from the pocket. Fitz can.

Has he been taught to do so by Fox?
It’s clear to me Denver rode the unorthodox approach Tebow provides to a fair bit of success.
But this loss is just as much about the defense as it is an archaic offense

you obviously feel fitz is more consistent, than i do. probably the difference here. Tebow played from the spread at the end of last season:
he ended the season with 5 TDs, 3 INTs and 6 Rushing TDs. he is a RB playing QB for sure, but that doesn’t mean he CAN’T do it.
Remember, Fitz is in year, what, like 8? Tebow, year 2, and he started games as a rookie, and earned his keep, once he got the job this year. Fitz SHOULD be better than he is, but that aren’t that far apart.

ok
but Fitz does not have the Denver defense that Tebow has. Totally different scenarios. Fitz had to force a lot late in the season (Tebow was lucky and while he was sputtering the game was still close), and in the process proved he cannot be a franchise, elite QB. But we still know he can be good.
You are now Watching The Throne.
that is valid for sure
and my very own view… all circumstance related. for sure. that said: fitz is just as likely to throw high, or low or really anywhere, anytime, on the whole field, regardless of where he intends to put the ball. His weakest part of his game is his feet. Tebow’s strongest is probably his feet. If pushed into “pocket passer” more and more: in 6 years, Tebow could certainly be > Fitz.

Totally disagree
Fitzpatrick can actually play the modern style QB. While he doesn’t have great arm strength or great accuracy he is still good. Much better than Tebow. I thought the Bills game against Denver proved that.
You are now Watching The Throne.
i suppose you can see it that way
i see inaccurate guys, who move around, and escape pressure, and are just likely to put one high, or in the dirt, or in the defenders hands. tebow is younger, faster, and has a stronger arm, and more dynamic personality. Fitz has a quiet calm… but to try and compare them directly, while they do two wholly different things is maybe unfair. Tebow could maybe victimize guys when some spread was worked in, a la Cam, if he can learn to throw. he has already improved after only a couple seasons. IMO.

yea your point that he could develop more is
definitely valid. We also know Fitz is not very accurate. and also week 2, when fitz throws the TD pass to win the game, his scream was not very quiet or calm… haha. But I cannot agree that Tebow is just as accurate as Fitz. Fitz has had games where he was terrible. and games where he was great, very accurate. Tebow has never been accurate.
You are now Watching The Throne.
Fitz has a higher completion percentage
but he also has had way more all around production. so, again, i just don’t feel that Ryan is accurate, even if he is more accurate than tebow, so, they are equally inaccurate, to me. maybe not equally, but close enough. for me. nowhere near an Aaron Rodgers, brees, brady, etc… not even as accurate as 2nd tier QBs like ryan, flacco, schaub… etc.
ABAYARDE IS NOSTRADAMUS JUST WATCH WE WILL NOT YIEALD TO NOBODY YOUR SOUL WE WILL TAKE

I agree to an extent
Flacco is not in my 2nd tier of QBs. Schaub, Ryan are much better. But yes Fitz is not as accurate. IMO more accurate than Tebow though. Fitz cost us the Giants game, because of it. But then he looked great against the Pats, Raiders, Jets (the second time), etc. So he is not very consistent, but I blame a lot of that lack of consistency on being down 21-7 before the 1st Quarter is over because of poor defense, injuries etc.
You are now Watching The Throne.
give Fitz Denver's defense
and I think they would be 9-7 instead of 8-8.
You are now Watching The Throne.
1 game man?
we are arguing over 1 better game? ok. sure. maybe. but, i don’t see what it matters. 6 years is an eternity in the NFL… like long enough for Alex Smith to go from being a promising rookie, to a bust, and then to a playoff game winner, against Drew Brees, and Sean Peyton and the Saints. Yes with help, like, in the form of an awesome defense. So, I am just saying: it happens. Happened a few hours ago. For sure. I accept that Smith might be more talented: but i suppose that could be in contention, and ultimately, be proven inaccurate, and all it would take is hard work, from a hard working kid. Not beyond the stretch of potential possibilities: to me.

Oh I agree with you in 3 years he could be great.
He has the attitude, and the physical potential to be great, if he can be accurate in short passes and make good football decisions.
and the argument about the 1 game is that they lost 7-3 against the Chiefs.. Fitz would have gotten at least 2 TDs. They would have easily beaten the teams that Matt Prater had to beat. the game that is on now would be much closer.

They are similar that they are not very accurate
but Fitz runs a spread and Tebow runs an option where he runs almost as much as he passes. They run play action every play, Fitz maybe does 1-2 play action plays. They are both not great in the pocket, but Fitz is much better than Tebow..

meh
i want better, than either. that is where i am at. i am in no way a Fitz “hater” though, i hate on him sometimes. I truly like the man, the myth, the beard’s legend. But i don’t really think he is a REAL NFL caliber QB. I would LOVE to be wrong about that, but I expect he is an insurance policy, to ensure an easy transition for the next guy, once we have a defense, and some receivers. That is exactly what he is to me: a stop gap. That is basically the definition of what I just described.

I don't know the stats
but I am pretty sure Schaub has thrown for a ton more yards, TDs, etc than Flacco. Probably same with Ryan. I agree he is the starting QB of a playoff team with a great running back and great defense. He has played well in games, but in others he looks awful. I still think Schaub and Ryan and much better either way but I watched his game against the Jags. and they lost 12-7… So I don’t think he is very good.
You are now Watching The Throne.
by that description though
he qualifies as much as say, Roethlisberger, had he won ONE super bowl, which he still has the chance to do, this year. So, I suppose I could have chosen another, but i don’t like ben, i didn’t want to use Rivers cuz he is on my bad side for costing me my fantasy league for taking him, and his cohorts, and so: i chose Flacco. Plug in another name if you want. It is cool. I would take Flacco as our QB over Fitzpatrick. wouldn’t even blink.

For the long term
I would take Flacco over Fitz right away. But for the short term, idk. Fitz has led comebacks to win games. Flacco has the best possible scenario to succeed and he hasn’t been great. If next season I had to win as many games as possible and I had to choose between the two of them I would take Fitz. But I think Flacco will eventually be better.
You are now Watching The Throne.
if they both ran the same system, with the same language
and Flacco could develop rapport with our receivers (which honestly, Fitz has done well, considering how many, but in a good system, with structured routes, there is less guesswork. Chan lets them improvise, which is cool, but can lead to more mis-communications, as well as timing issues. so, if we could control all other variables, Flacco would be my choice. All that said, i think Fitz is exactly what we need, for right now, and I hope he is a clip board guy, and then maybe a QB coach or OC for all i care. i think he is a smart dude, and he embodies what i want from a QB, outside of physical skill set, where he is a little lacking both in size, or in speed, and in accuracy, and sometimes decision making (more in forcing, less in overall concepts. He throws to spots, or he tries to force stuff, when other guys are open.)

Who has impressed me
Beadles
Hernandez
Gronk
Brady
Bellichick
I love what they do with their TEs. Those two are incredible!
Bill is a genius, he completely shut down tebowmania and I love what he’s doing with hernandez

Chan is a genius
he shut down Tebowmania too. But Hernandez and gronk are unbelievable.
You are now Watching The Throne.
They really are. I wish our genius could learn to use them. I wonder if we have a chance at a good te in fa? Or maybe the draft? I hope so
Rebuilding a team properly takes time and patience
yea ik
if we resign Chandler and get another TE.. I just don’t see Chan doing it though. I wish he would, get two TEs out there and run the ball, do some PA, and throw the ball to them. Especially with how weak our WR core is.
You are now Watching The Throne.
This is what we should do. Re-sign Stevie, establish a #2, re-sign Chandler, get a Gronk-type TE, then RUN RUN RUN with FJ and CJ. Throw when we have to, and someone WILL catch it :)

Seriously though, look at the roster. Good rbs, unknown WRs, 7th round QB, MONSTERS for lineman, and only blocking TEs basically… You run, right? run, run, and run some more? play pass, and then spread when you need? basically a west coast i guess… if that is how you want to look at it… i can it Run-balanced, per Madden terms.

I'd love that
But I’ve come to accept that chan gailey does not like the power run game
Rebuilding a team properly takes time and patience
I am still convinced that nix will target Vincent Jackson
And with Easley coming back, it would give us some preset big guys at WR, fast that can all make plays and block. Easley is a great blocker
Rebuilding a team properly takes time and patience
although..
if we resigned Chandler and Stevie, signed V-Jax, and got another receiving TE. we would have 4 good, if not great receiving group. with Freddy and Spiller running the ball, that could be amazing. Very high concentration of talent on the field there.
You are now Watching The Throne.
I like chandler
But for his slow speed I expect much better blocking
Rebuilding a team properly takes time and patience
Pears had same issue
they are too long, and thin bodied for how tall they are… they get outleveraged. That said, they can beat that with good feet and body position. I like Chandler’s upside, but we could use a “specimen” either as a receiver like Vernon Davis/maybe even Fred Davis, or Finley, or grab a true TE like Pettigrew/Witten, and I think we have a whole new facet of this team.

Does Elway stick with Tebow?
Or does he draft one?
Rebuilding a team properly takes time and patience
If I am him
I draft one between the 3-5 rounds. Someone who will compete with Tebow, but not get the fanbase worried that Tebow is done. Although still try to develop Tim because he still can be great. But I would draft a guy who you develop along with Tebow, and if after next season proves he is the better QB, he starts over Tebow in 2013.

he should be able to find SOME good armed guy, who reminds him of himself, somewhere.

Refs love New England
There is a big fight between the Broncos and Patriots, which results in ZERO penalties for the Pats, and 2 for the Broncos? Come on Refs, why not just make out with Tom Brady during the game?
OK, this way that NE has revolutionized the TE position,
has me thinking that it seems like TE isn’t a major priority this off-season, not sure why I think that, just doesn’t seem to be getting the attention of the obvious needs, pass rush, OLB, WR, & QB. But, I like Chandler, he could be a nice compliment to a true athletic freakish TE (like Gronk, Hernandez, Jimmy Graham, & Vernon Davis and that’s just from today!!!!!), which is what brings me to the current ND TE, Tyler Eifert ( 6’6 250, pass cathing TE), the kid is just a monster, he’s going to be the best TE out of ND (since 05: Anthony Fasano, John Carlson, Kyle Rudoplh, ND is truly becoming TE U the last 6-7 years. Tyler Eifert is in the mold of a Hernandez type player. The kid is going to be a great TE in the NFL. Just how I feel the Bills need to become part of this TE revolution we’ve seen in the NFL.

Maybe having not lived in the Buffalo area
for the last 7-8 years has made me lose my South Buffalo accent (actually not really). I always usually can tell if someone is from WNY area when I hear that specific accent when I meet people outside of WNY, always love meeting fellow WNYers in other parts of the country.
But to the post-game Gronk interview, you’re right, he did sound a little different than when I’ve listened to him on other interviews, when I’ve really heard his WNY accent. Anyway, just my humble opinion.

but i am banking on Rodgers wanting it more. he has the ability to negate the G men, where as Eli is going to need to match his arm against Rodgers, and I believe GB can cover better, and play run well enough to slow them down. Last time was a great matchup. 38-35 if i remember right.

well, i have been accurate, albeit incorrect in one selection
but that was the winner of the saints/niners matchup, and i still envisioned a game SIMILAR to what happened, as well as the Saints go ahead score, before the Niners go ahead score, and the subsequent NOT go ahead score…. But, i don’t count that as a miscalculation, more just an extreme example of what COULD have happened, and then did. Brady even superceded my 28 point half time score, but then, they did have a 28 point lead. so….. for what is worth… I agree with you. I think that the Packers still hold the upper hand, and it is going to take A LOT for them to let that opportunity slip away, against a team that BARELY got into the playoffs, in a division of relative mediocrity.

their D Line makes me very jealous. Along with this, being a ND fan, I thought Justin Tuck was a solid player, never saw what he’s become now when he played in college. I thought Mathias Kiwanuaka wouldn’t be a good player either coming out of BC, and I was 50/50 of JPP coming out of South Florida, never knew of Osi before his breakout year with the Giants, shows ya how much I know of my DL scouting ability.
